Had a gastric band placed years ago?

Some people live with a gastric band for a long time without regular review, while others may experience symptoms, discomfort, reflux, food intolerance, weight regain or concerns that it is no longer working as expected.

A review can help you understand what is happening and what options may be appropriate for your situation.

This may include monitoring, gastric band removal, or in some cases, conversion to another bariatric procedure such as sleeve gastrectomy or gastric bypass. The safest option depends on your symptoms, health history and anatomy.

The TGA has issued a safety advisory about counterfeit imported weight loss products being sold online, including products claiming to contain GLP-1 medicines.

According to the TGA, some products purchased online or from overseas may be fake, contain undisclosed ingredients, or not meet Australian standards for quality, safety and effectiveness.

If you are considering medication or any product as part of weight management, please speak with a qualified health professional first.

Weight can affect how the body regulates blood sugar and how insulin works.

Bariatric surgery changes the way food moves through the digestive tract and may help some people feel full earlier and eat less. The way blood sugar responds can vary from person to person.

Understanding the available diabetes treatments can help you have a more informed conversation with your healthcare team.

Before any surgery or procedure, your treating team needs to know what medications you are taking.

Some medicines can affect how your body responds to fasting, anaesthesia or recovery planning, so it is important not to leave anything out.

This includes prescribed medications, over-the-counter medicines and supplements.

Please do not stop or change any medication without medical advice. Your care team will guide you based on your individual health history and procedure.

Nervous about your first consult?

That is more common than you might think.

Some people worry they will be judged. Others are unsure what will happen, what questions will be asked, or whether they will feel pressured to make a decision.

At Perth Weight Loss and Surgery, the first consultation is about understanding your situation, answering your questions and talking through options that may be suitable for you.

It is a conversation, not a commitment.

Personalised advice should always come from a qualified health professional.

We're hearing similar stories in consultations lately, progress made with medication, but goals not quite reached, or plateaus despite dose changes.
This doesn't mean medication has failed.

It affects everyone differently. If this sounds familiar, it may be worth exploring the full range of options available, including surgical ones.
Perth Weight Loss & Surgery offers consultations to help you find the right path forward.

Acid reflux is one of the most common digestive complaints, and diet does play a role in managing it.

Foods like bananas, oats and ginger can help ease symptoms, while fatty, spicy or acidic foods tend to make things worse.
For some people, though, dietary changes aren't enough. Reflux following bariatric surgery, reflux linked to GLP-1 medication, a hiatal hernia, or symptoms that aren't improving despite treatment may all benefit from a closer look.

Our team at Perth Weight Loss & Surgery offers dedicated reflux consultations to help identify the cause and the right path forward.
